摘要：
A method for mapping sensor signals to stimulation values and a device using the same are disclosed. The method includes the steps of receiving sensor signal from sensors, mapping the sensor signals to stimulation values, and delivering stimulation signals based on the stimulation values. The mapping may be performed using a linear, piecewise linear, or non-linear function. The method may be incorporated in an advanced prosthetic system that activates sensory neurons in a residual limb to provide an amputee with sensations related to grip force and hand opening. The method for implementing sensory feedback may also be incorporated into mechanical or robotic devices such as those used for surgery, games, and/or tele-manipulation.
